Perazzi type 3 woodwork

Hello,
I thought this question had been covered before but a search of the old threads didn't reveal anything; so....

I'm looking at an older Perazzi just for general shooting, it's serial number is around 36200 which would indicate it's a type 3 (cat 3) gun made in 1970. The action is of the type/shape which I've seen called a 'Comp 1' on this forum, it's case hardened as well. Metalwork is fine, the wood is ok but with a bit too much drop for me. The gun is not expensive so it would be worth buying a different set of second hand woodwork.

I think the guys above have posted some good advice, maybe I can add to it. Wenig has 90% inletted blanks for reasonable prices. You can specify a type 3 and they will send it to you.
If you are going to shoot a lot, I would recommend the forearm iron upgrade to the newer type 4 design. The forearm will last longer and current wood will fit it.

Thanks to all of you for the good advice & also the Wenig recommendation.

It’s actually (dare I say it) a skeet gun. Should I buy it – it won’t be used anywhere near as heavily as my trap guns. Aside from being ideal for the odd round of skeet & casual sporting clays (as long as I don’t expect to hit all of the longer sporting targets – which I can’t do anyway!) it’s an attractive gun with the coloured action & would be an interesting one to own & shoot. The older Perazzi’s have some nice little touches like the more attractively shaped top lever & safety button.

The biggest problem with the type 3 wood is that people don't get the screw tight enough and it cracks. I have a way that appears to eliminate the problem. I initally use cap crews to tighten the arm to the wood. I then remove one sreew at a time and put the correct Perazzi screw with lock crew back with Locktite thread sealent. Have not had a problem since I started doing this.
